College Basketball Star Took A 7-Year-Old Leukemia Patient To The Kentucky Derby

    Adorable.

    This is Kelly Melton. He's a 7-year-old with leukemia who spends a lot of time in the University of Kentucky Children's Hospital.

    This is Nerlens Noel. Kentucky basketball star and likely number one pick in this June's NBA draft.

    This weekend, Kelly was Nerlens' guest to the Kentucky Derby.

    It started with Kelly waking up Nerlens from a nap and telling him "Come on get ready!"

    Then the two worked the red carpet like champs. #Swag

    But the coolest, sweetest moment came when Noel helped Kelly over some rising water during a rainstorm.

    Nicely done, Nerlens. And I'm not just talking about that flat top.
